Splinter Cell Conviction Ubisoft Montreal - Image 1

You may have heard sometime last year about Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction (Xbox 360 and PC) getting delayed to a late '08 and '09 release, but as it turns out, that's not the end of it. According to an article in the Xbox 360 World magazine, the latest sequel to the much-anticipated series will be pushed back further to late 2009, or even Spring 2010.

The reason? Apparently, the game is sent back to the drawing board by its developer, Ubisoft Montreal. It's a good thing that they're not rushing the game, however, as it may have ended up playing a bit like Ubisoft Montreal's other stealth masterpiece, Assassin's Creed (Micorosft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3, PC). However, the magazine also stated that the delay may have been brought about by Conviction getting "outdated" by the newer games, such as...yes, Assassin's Creed.

We may not get our fix of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction this year, but you can be that whatever Ubisoft has in mind, it's going to be an awesome gaming line-up in the coming fiscal year.

From what they have shown in the past it seemed like it could easly hold it's ground against AC...but it's obviously a different game...

Maybe they bit off more then they could chew with promising totally interactive enviros....but, the demo they showed seemed to do that well...

It could also be that Ubi doesn't see themselves having any huge games in the future and wants investors to stay with them and make them think that conviction is the reason not to bail....

but i dont really see this splinter cell as one of those games that you just HAVE to get for the 360. I think theyre makeing this too big of a deal for themselves.
